A TRUE music legend. I'm so sorry to hear he has moved on. EWF's music was/is amongst the mightiest of all time...Life affirming, socially conscious, funky and powerfully beautiful.
Although we went to school in different eras, Maurice and Phillip Bailey and I studied under the same genius music professor in junior college.
When I attended, in that professor's Jazz Composition class, my classmates included Maurice's younger brother Fred White (drums) and Hassan Khan (bassist, ex-husband of Chaka).
I pray good rest to a GIANT.
